Starling Bank Kite Childrens Account reviews (3121)

Easy for kids to use and parents to monitor

Had a few different accounts for kids over the years Starling is a step above just like the adult accounts. Highly visible and straightforward. I’d recommend for anyone Reviewed on: 4th February 2022

Very happy and satisfied with starling kite . Reviewed on: 4th February 2022

Great notifications and visibility

Such an easy app to use and gives a great overview of what you have spent money on Reviewed on: 4th February 2022

Made my life so much easier!

I wanted a card for my son so that he could pay for his bus fare etc without me having to find cash, which I don’t always carry, and you can’t take £5 out the cashpoint, so I googled cards for kids and found starling kite on a money comparison site, I already have a starling account so this was a nice surprise for me, I figured it’d make sense and both my son and I have found it to be the exact thing we needed, it has made life so much simpler for us, I’ve set up auto payments so now I don’t even have to think about it and he has more independence which he loves, it also has the added bonus of being able to keep any extra money, eg birthday gifts in a separate place for his use. I also love that there are tools to help teach him good money habits. I’m very happy with this service :) Reviewed on: 4th February 2022

Fantastic App

Brilliant app, my daughter (12) and son (7) absolutely love their kite cards. Well done starling !!!!! Reviewed on: 4th February 2022

Easy to Use

My son has had the app for a few weeks now and finds the account very easy to use. For parents the control we get over the transactions and the ease of use makes it fantastic to use. Transparency, efficiency and ease of use sums up the kite card! Reviewed on: 4th February 2022

Quick, effortless, well controlled kids account

It was quick and easy to set up. Both my children, and I can easily see what money they have in their account, and when anything is spent. I could also put a string of limits and restrictions to protect my kids. Reviewed on: 4th February 2022
